Why “Al-Hamdulillah” Is Particularly Used in Surah Al-Fatihah

Surat Al-Fatihah starts with this phrase Al-Hamdulillah or “All praise is for Allah”.

Have you ever wondered why this formula is particularly used?

Why Al-Hamdulillah?

Why does not Al-Fatihah start with a more actionable expression like “We praise Allah”, or the command form, “Praise Allah”?

In this video, you will discover how “Al-hamdulillah” is much more eloquent.

You will learn that even the prefix “Al” at the beginning of Al-hamdulillah is indispensable. It makes the meaning more powerful.
